P7_TA(2011)0302
European Parliament resolution of 5 July 2011 on Council's position on Draft amending budget No 2/2011 of the European Union for the financial year 2011, Section III – Commission (10522/2011 – C7-0137/2011 – 2011/2065(BUD))
2013/C 33 E/28

The European Parliament,






—


having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and in particular Article 314 thereof and to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and in particular Article 106a thereof,










—


having regard to Council Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 1605/2002 of 25 June 2002 on the Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Communities (1), and particularly Articles 37 and 38 thereof,










—


having regard to the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2011, as definitively adopted on 15 December 2010 (2),










—


having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (3),










—


having regard to Draft amending budget No 2/2011 of the European Union for the financial year 2011, which the Commission submitted on 25 March 2011 (COM(2011)0154),










—


having regard to Council's position on Draft amending budget No 2/2011, which the Council established on 24 May 2011 (10522/2011 – C7-0137/2011),










—


having regard to Rule 75b of its Rules of Procedure,










—


having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgets (A7-0233/2011),










A.


whereas Draft amending budget No 2/2011 to the general budget 2011 aims at mobilising the EU Solidarity Fund (EUSF) for an amount of EUR 19,5 million in commitment and payment appropriations following the heavy rainfall that hit Slovenia, Croatia and Czech Republic in August and September 2010,










B.


whereas the purpose of this Draft amending budget is to formally enter this budgetary adjustment into the 2011 budget,










C.


whereas the Joint Statement on payment appropriations annexed to the budget for the financial year 2011 foresaw the submission of an amending budget "if the appropriations entered in the 2011 budget are insufficient to cover expenditure",










D.


whereas the Council has decided to redeploy appropriations from budget items on the sole basis of low implementation rates, without taking into account that implementation of completion budget lines require further measures as regards controls and that not all Member States have taken the appropriate measures to facilitate the closures,










E.


whereas the negative reserve established by the Council for Draft amending budget No 1/2011 is only pragmatic, and does not provide a sustainable and financially sound solution to address the issue of unexpected needs in payment appropriations, as underlined by Parliament (4),










F.


whereas the Commission has not yet presented a solution for drawing upon the negative reserve, despite both Parliament's resolution on Draft amending budget No 1/2011 and the Council's call to the Commission to present it "as soon as possible",










G.


whereas payment appropriations decided for the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) will most likely not be sufficient for the needs for the whole year 2011, and will therefore require a reinforcement,










H.


whereas the implementation of payments for some major energy projects in 2011 was revised downwards in June 2011, due mainly to operational delays, and whereas these appropriations can be used for other purposes;










1.


Notes Council's position on Draft amending budget No 2/2011;










2.


Considers the redeployments adopted by Council in contradiction with the Joint Statement on payment appropriations, to which it attaches value and feels committed;










3.


Decides to amend Council's position on Draft Amending Budget No 2/2011 as shown below, with a view to:






—


covering the needs ensuing from the mobilisation of the EUSF;










—


drawing upon the negative reserve;










—


reinforcing payments appropriations for the EGF;














4.


Instructs its President to forward this resolution, together with Parliament’s amendment, to the Council, the Commission and the national parliaments.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) so as to enable the Union to provide temporary and targeted support for workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation where these redundancies have a significant adverse impact on the regional or local economy. For applications submitted before 31 December 2011, it may also be used to provide support to workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis.
The maximum amount of expenditure from the Fund shall be EUR 500 000 000 per year.
The aim of this reserve, in accordance with point 28 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006, is to provide additional temporary support for workers who suffer from the consequences of major structural changes in world trade patterns and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.
The actions undertaken by the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund should be complementary to those of the European Social Fund without creating double structures.
The methods for entering the appropriations in this reserve and for mobilising the Fund are laid down in point 28 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 and in Article 12 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 on establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (OJ L 406, 30.12.2006, p. 1).
Regulation (EC) No 546/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 amending Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 on establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (OJ L 167, 29.6.2009, p. 26).

Remarks


Former Item 06 04 14 01

This appropriation is intended to cover the costs of gas and electricity infrastructure projects having the highest Union added value.
It should serve to adapt and develop energy networks of particular importance to the Union in support of the operation of the internal energy market and, in particular, to increase interconnection capacity, security and diversification of supply and to overcome environmental, technical and financial obstacles. Special Union support is necessary to develop energy networks more intensively and to accelerate their construction, notably where the diversity of routes and sources of supply is low.
This appropriation should also serve to promote connection and integration of renewable energy resources and to strengthen economic and social cohesion with less-favoured and island regions of the Union.
It is intended to cover the financing of the second step of the economic recovery plan as agreed between the two arms of the budgetary authority on 2 April 2009. Its financing is conditional on an agreement by the budgetary authority and should be made available as provided for in points 21, 22 and 23 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 on budgetary discipline and sound financial management, without prejudice to the financial envelopes of the codecision programmes and the European Parliament's priorities.
If the Commission's annual report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the implementation of the economic recovery plan identifies serious risks for implementing the priority projects, the Commission shall recommend measures to offset those risks, and shall where appropriate and consistent with the economic recovery plan, make additional proposals for the projects already referred to in Regulation (EC) No 663/2009.

Legal basis

Regulation (EC) No 663/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 establishing a programme to aid economic recovery by granting Community financial assistance to projects in the field of energy (OJ L 200, 31.7.2009, p. 31).
